I've been posting a lot on recycling in Barcelona, such as xo-in my room turning reclaimed wood into elegant furniture, but there's a story with a recycling beginning also from the Canary Islands: Macarena Bilbao – see her swinging workshop in the above photos – built her first toy kitchen out of wooden pallets doomed to the reuse center... and soon found out her children were not the only ones to love them! Now she also makes desks, doll houses, shelves, stalls as well as decorative cameras and guitars in certified FSC wood.

Recyclie, that's me, a foodie gone (re)cycling: This blog's all about bicycle riding, living and cooking on a shoestring, and, naturally, recycling, or "repairing, repainting, reinterpreting, reviving, redeploying or simply relishing" – to quote one of my favorite interior designers and authors, Ilse Crawford–, feminine and Finnish style, with an Italian twist. In real life, I'm a Helsinki-based interpreter and translator, as well as the author of "Reilun kaupan ruokaa ja elämää" (Perhemediat, 2009), that is, the first Finnish Fairtrade cookbook.
